PHOENIX (AP)—Shaq danced, Kobe dazzled.
And just like old times, they won again.
Bryant led all scorers with 27 points, O’Neal partied his way back onto theAll-Star stage with 17 in just 11 minutes, and the Western Conference beat theEast 146-119 Sunday night.
“It felt like old times,” O’Neal said. “I miss those times. He was reallylooking for me, especially when we went to a pick-and-roll and they had RashardLewis on me.”
Back on the same team for the first time in nearly five years, thethree-time champions shared the game MVP award. They helped the West getuntracked after an awful start, then teamed up for a few buckets that helpedblow it open in the third quarter.
“I tell you what, those two guys together, that’s a deadly combination aswe all saw tonight and we have all seen in the past,” East coach Mike Brownsaid.
“They are where they are right now, but if they were to stay together, notelling how many more rings they would have had on their fingers and toes.” Amare Stoudemire scored 19 for the West, which bounced back from its losslast year in New Orleans, when Bryant was limited to just a few minutes ofaction while resting a dislocated pinkie finger.
“We wanted to be aggressive,” Bryant said. “We talked about it beforegoing out there, we wanted to play. We lost last year and we wanted to make surewe came out here and played the game hard, come out here with a win.” LeBron James led the East with 20 points. Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade eachscored 18.
O’Neal scored the next eight West points, including one basket when Bryantfed him for a dunk. Another came when he ran a give-and-go with Hornets guardChris Paul—with O’Neal feeding the 6-foot Paul in the post and swooping infrom the perimeter for a dunk.
Paul, Brandon Roy, Pau Gasol and Tony Parker all finished with 14 points forthe West. Paul also had 14 assists. Dwight Howard had 13 points and nine rebounds in a disappointing performanceby the East, which shot only 47 percent in a game usually absent of defense andwas outrebounded 51-38.作者: 3diSoN 時間: 2009-2-16 03:43 PM
